They recently pushed an Intel Pentium 4 631 to over 8000MHz using an ASUS P5B with modified voltage regulation and liquid nitrogen. Overclocking is cool and all, but this extends beyond what some would perhaps call useful. Still a milestone though."

Somewhat useless IMO, but nontheless cool.

Can you imagine? the latest Unreal Tournament would almost run at 30 frame per second! Finally!!!

Thats pretty cool. I have a Pentium 4 Hyperthreaded. I want a dual core, but I'm in doubt I'll get one soon.

I read about that this morning. It IS a bit useless though, due to the costs of cooling that sucker down. but if when the machines attack in the near future and you're stuck underground with a P4 computer and a whole bunch of liquid nitrogen then you could be all set to start up your resistence force

is that speed stable, could you actually play a game or do some massive calculations with it?

in theory it would do whatever you wanted to but it just takes a lot to keep it from bursting into flames

According to moors law,by the year 2020processor speed should be over 20ghz.

Actually, I don't know what would be more interesting. The 8 GHz speed or the liquid nitrogen cooling system. Wow!

Regarding Moore's Law, I thought I was reading Moore's Law is no longer true. The P4 reached its speed limitations and will not go as fast as Intel had expected. This was my understanding for a push to duo systems, as the 2 cores can maintain proper heat, while gaining processing power.

Is this right? Or wrong? I have been reading lots of stuff regarding Core Duo and Core 2 Duo the last few months, and I thought I came across some article stating the above.

Well, technically, Moore's Law deals with the number of transistors in the chip, not the Mega/Giga-hertz. So even Duo's are keeping up since there are more transistors for the two processors.

HP, I believe has made the next technological step with nano wire interconnects.

If you like dual cored goodness then just wait til intel releases their quad-core architecture later this year.

oh yeah? i didn't know that (again, i'm out of the loop). Anyways, 4 cores + HT technology = a whole lot of processing power to check your email with

Its mainly aimed at gamers. Not email/internet-only'ers.

actually its probably more aimed at servers and research machines, or possibly even CAD machines more than gamers. But my point was that everyone wants the latest and greatest and 99% of people don't even know how to use the thing to its full potential.

Dunno... But I wouldn't be supprised if computers will be designing and building themselves.

Hmm.....a computer program that can design and build other computer programs to meet certain specifications.......sounds like a nice mini-project to me I might try that when I get better at C.

Ha! Well, if you upgrade to Vista, it'll feel like you're checking your email on a single processor system. Leave it to Microsoft to negate Moore's law with OS bloat. Your $200 video card? Probably not Direct X 10 compatible. How do you like that? A high end, DX 10 & Vista-compatible gaming computer will cost about as much as the price of a 360, Wii, and PS3 combined.

They can do the building.. but nothing like design. You need to think outside the box (no pun intended) to develop new technologies. Computers are programmed, slaves of logic, boring, and uncapable of comming up with good ideas. A computer could optimize a design, make it cheaper, and make it faster but not create an entirely new one.

This would only happen in the WAY far future, but I think that if a computer had an "artificial brain" that could "learn" like people by storing and processing/referring to all kinds of information, it could design and even think for itself probably, but not as well as people. Again, this is the very far future, say about the year 10,000 :P

AI technology really isn't that far into the future it is just making an os that can redesign/reprogram itself.

Hehe. You could be right!

I believe you have to have a soul to be truly creative. I don't believe AI could invent anything that's never been thought of before.
